Ross is the primary investor in a remote and secret compound where death is exquisitely controlled and bodies are preserved until a future time when biomedical advances and new technologies can return them to a life of transcendent promise. Jeff joins Ross and Artis at the compound to say \"an uncertain farewell\" to her as she surrenders her body. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"We are born without choosing to be.
